Braised Lamb Shank

Lamb Shank is without a doubt the tenderest meat I’ve ever had the pleasure of cooking with. I like cooking it for hours in a delicious red wine and tomato based sauce. I love mushrooms and lately, I’ve been throwing them in almost everything I make so mushrooms and lamb shank might sound a little odd but it works.

The first time I tried lamb shank was at an Afghan restaurant by my house. They make an awesome lamb shank. Although, Afghan-style wasn’t what I was going for this time I did add cinnamon, turmeric, cumin, which I believe the restaurant by my house uses all of those spices. Yes, I’m that annoying person at restaurants that tries to guess what spices and other ingredients are in the dish. Sorry.

Kabuli Pulao would be amazing with this but I just served it with some white basmati rice.

Lamb shank is tender and flavorful with the meat falling off the bone. The sauce is made with wine, tomatoes and mushrooms that help the meat say moist. This is a savory dish that’s meant to impress. Give it a try today!
